Boy did we have a great trip to Orlando. Although it has been at least ten years since my first trip there, I still got chills when we first spotted Cinderella’s castle. I will write a recap once I have recovered from the long trip home. Here are a few photos I snapped of Liam experiencing Disney for the first time.
*A a side note: We were lucky that hurricane IKE missed Orlando, but were so sad to see all the devastation in Texas. We will be praying for those families that have been affected.

After reading this couple’s story, I felt compelled to write something. Stephanie, a fellow blogger and mom, and her husband were involved in a plane crash on August 16, 2008. They both suffered burn injuries and are going to have to go through months of recovery. I don’t know Stephanie personally, but as a mom, sister, and a daughter, I can’t even begin to imagine how this family is coping with such a tragedy.
You can find more about her story here. Her sister also set up a blog where updates about the Nielson family will be posted. That blog is called CJane run and can be found here. If you would like to donate to her recovery fund, you can donate by clicking on the button below. I plan on donating a portion of the print order profits to her recovery fund through the end of the year. I know it’s not much, but I hope that it can help another family through an icredibly difficult time.

I can’t think of a better way to spend a holiday than with the two boys I adore. I had big plans for our day off, thinking I would make the most of the day by completing house projects. Instead, we just lazed around, watched movies, and enjoyed our time together. Here is a funny pic I caught of Liam that just cracks me up. I am not sure what I told him to do, but I think it was something along the lines of “what does a dinosaur say?”

I rarely get a chance to have my picture taken with my mom. It’s not that I don’t want one, it’s just that my mom is so much a part of my life that I tend to take our relationship for granted. I don’t mean to, really. She just has a way of being there when I need her the most.
Lately, we have been taking long walks in the morning to get some exercise and lose a few pounds, and while the exercise certainly helps, the walks are our way of staying connected. There is no TV, no radio, only us. Well, and Liam’s interjections. We talk about our days, the election, what we are doing for lunch. And though much of our conversation is about talking through our troubles or frustrations, it is mostly about listening. I think that is all we ever want, isn’t it? To know that we have been heard and understood.
Thanks, mom, for listening.
